• Beer Pong Can Give You Herpes?

   
  
  

  If you went to a snooty Ivy League or Liberal Arts University (like me), we referred to the game in question as beirut, but pretty much everyone else likes to call it beer pong, even if dicks like me might contend that true beer pong is played with paddles (I tried this once as a sophomore in college, and it didn't go well).
  
  The whole beer pong/beirut dilemma tends to be more geographical anyway.
  
  Beer pong appeals to us so much because it combines several of the more essential elements of manliness:  beer, sports, smacktalk, and fighting.  But beware, for all it's appeals, Fox News recently discussed "THE DANGERS OF BEER PONG:" with a heavy emphasis on herpes.  Take a look at this video...
  
  
  
  While the amount of athleticism required to contest a game of beer pong can clearly be questioned, tossing ping pong balls into cups draws clear comparison to basketball.  I can't tell you why throwing a ball into a hoop, a piece of paper into a garbage can, or dropping a ping pong ball into a small plastic cup is so satisfying, but it is.  It's fundamental.  But now, so is herpes.
  
  A once innocent game meant to promote binge drinking is now an STD epidemic. Except not really because the truth is that Fox Report was based on an internet hoax.

  But guys, remember, when you come back from that party and your girlfriend finds out you gave her herpes, it was the beer pong, dude, it was the beer pong... Fox News said it could happen!

  Will this report stop you from playing beer pong?
